18、ding letter on the Answer Sheet.40 “A rolling stone gathers no moss (苔藓) ,“ but there is one living animal that does gather moss, the three-toed sloth (树獭) of South America. This slowest-moving member of the animal kingdom is so inactive that moss actually gathers on its body and turns it green stra
19、nge as it seems!Most of the sloths life is spent motionless, hanging upside down from a limb. And that is the way its hair grows. Long and coarse, the strands (串) from receptacles (花托) for the damp jungle algae (水藻 ) that turn the brown fur a mossy green. Actually this moss helps the animal survive
20、because it serves as a per- fect camouflage against the leaf trees and hides the sloth from the jungles swift-moving hunters. The sloth would have little chance of survival on the ground. With long, curved claws hooked over the limb of a leafy tree, it spends the long hot hours during the day drowsi
21、ng and eating. Inch by inch, it strips the leafy limbs bare and crawls Slowly down the trunk to find a new dining spot, but only at night.In addition to looking rather like a vegetable, the sloth is a strict vegetarian. Running out of its favorite leaf is about the only thing that will make a sloth
22、move. Then its appetite may even force the animal into swimming a stream to reach a juicy succulent(多汁的值物). It will also force it into fighting to keep the tree all to itself. The sloth is lazy and prefers to be alone, but it will tolerate its own relatives!41 A suitable title for this passage might

27、d they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who
28、 used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes
29、produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rule; came too late to protect the people who died or who became serio
30、usly ill.Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls
31、 the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but t

38、e possible. We try to eat, sleep, and talk efficiently. Even on holidays and Sundays, the efficient man relaxes on timetable with one eye on the clock and the other on an appointment sheet.To squeeze the most out of each shining hour we have shortened the opera, quickened the pace of the movie and p
39、ut culture in pocket-sized packages. We make the busy bee look like a lazy creature, the ant like a sluggard. We live sixty-mile-minute and the great efficiency smiles.We wish we could return to that pleasant day when we considered time a friend instead of an enemy; when we did things willingly and
40、because we wanted to, rather than because our timetable called for it, But that of course would not be efficiency; and we Americans must be efficient.51 The phrase that best expresses the main idea of this passage is _.

44、When anyone opens a current account at a bank, he is lending the bank money, repayment of which he may demand at any time, either in cash or by drawing a check in favor of another person. Primarily, the bank-customer relationship is that of debtor and creditor who is which depending on whether the c
45、ustomers account is in credit or overdrawn. But, in addition to that basically simple concept, the bank and its customer owe a large number of obligations to one another. Many of these obligations can give rise to problems and complications but a bank customer, unlike, say, a buyer of goods, cannot
46、complain that the law is loaded against him. The bank must obey its customers instructions, and not those of anyone else. When, for example, a customer first opens an account, he instructs the bank to debit (把记入借方) his account only in respect of checks drawn by himself. He gives the bank specimens o
47、f his signature, and there is a very firm rule that the bank has no right or authority to pay out a customers money on a check on which its customers signature has been forged. It makes no difference that the forgery may have been a very skillful one: the bank must recognize its customers signature.
48、 For this reason there is no risk to the customer in the practice, adopted day banks, of printing the customers name on his checks, ff this facilitates forgery, it is the bank which will lose, not the customer.56 When you have a bank account, you _. ( )（A）must always be in credit（B） cant draw any money if youre overdrawn（C） can draw money without notice（D）cant pay money to anyone else 57 One of the obligations a bank has to a customer _.
